*Rage*

I've noticed this too for the Su33.

I would dearly love a Mig15 vs F86, or 21 vs F5 setup! You promised it to us buddyspike, now deliver!

Removed BVR capability because you're forced to use the 7M? Really? I think this really sums up your anxieties about the setup. Truly you are lost without your 120s:huh: If the idea of having to work for a kill is so abhorrent to you then im sure you can design and host your own setup, or if necessary, shoot fish in a barrel. Shrug.

Im sorry to interrupt your dying swan act but the F15 still retains a huge BVR advantage in an R vs Aim7 setup. If you are unable to capitalise thats fair enough but ask any capable pilot and they'll inform you. It seems to me that flying the F15 is defined by firing 120s for you when in fact for the first 15 years of F15 service it only had SARH. During that time it accrued most of its impressive A2A kill record, without the benefit of 120s. The server owners have clearly gone for an early 80s setup where there were no active missiles (Nor ER/ET). Whining about the lack of 120s and 9X is just a bit weak. And i'm sorry to disappoint you again but F18 early access will not include the JHMCS nor the 9X. And I wouldn't be surprised, given the current restrictions, if the 9X is not available in the server anyway since it is totally out of timeframe. At least once all the new module fuss has died down. Good luck!

I wouldn't buy a 2 seater fighter either.

Years ago Wags mentioned that if they did an F16 it would be an F16CJ which would make it a block 50/52. Hopefully that's still the case.

I hope it's a more modern variant with either the PW-229s or GE-100/129.

I guess it varies with different reviews but if you look at the Silicon Lottery results you'll see a higher proportion of 8600Ks overclock higher than 8700Ks.

Same here. 8600Ks are cooler too so more likely to OC higher.

Forecast for today is stormy weather with very strong winds. Good luck to TAW and IRIAF!

Mostly conjecture then?

Convincing!

Its all on their forums. Hopefully they'll sticky further announcements.

Yes. Youre right.

Well. I run a 4K TV and if I drop the resolution to 1080p thats still significantly better IQ than I was getting with the Odyssey. Again, TVs vary and DCS settings as well so YMMV. DCS 2.5 is gorgeous. Running it in VR felt like rolling back to 1.2 or so. But of course thats with 3D cockpit immersion. Its a tradeoff thats difficult to explain in a forum post. You might need to try it yourself to judge.

The rift IQ will be rubbish in comparison. Try running your 4K TV at something like 800x600 resolution and playing DCS. This is what the rift will look like, but with the added benefit of 3D. For me the trade wasnt worth it but YMMV.

Its not an assumption. You can directly see its about 9 or 10 seconds burn and thats its almost certainly a T because of the shape of it and the fact the yemenis never had ETs.

Its quite obvious from that video the burn time is >6 seconds. Closer to 10 infact. So either the 6s burn time is incorrect for the T or the missile in that video is an ET, which seems very unlikely.

It does look like a T. Does anyone have reliable pictures of a T and ET side by side so we can compare?

Most of these issues can be mitigated with sensor fusion and some of the other advanced features that may be present such as buddy/awacs guiding etc. I really cant think of any reason why you would not want increased range, particularly NEZ. I disagree. I think we're approaching a time where missiles are becoming much much more deadly. You cant 'dodge' them and you cant 'spoof' them. Youre best bet is to outrun them and avoid being caught within RTR. Given the above I think reliable detection range (both launching platform and missile) and the size of NEZ will be the key dictators of air combat.

Not yet in my experience. I went back to my 4K TV after trying the Odyssey for a few days. Maybe once the Pimax 8k or google/LG HMD thing are released.

Unless im mistaken im sure I read a review from a user here of a bugeye throttle which was somewhat mediocre.

Theres no restriction on changing sides. Whats to gain from having all aircraft on both sides?
